MORE ABOUT ME
Theatre storytelling is how we relate to each other on a human level. In getting to know others, our universe expands and also grows closer. Theatre has made me a better person.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
As most playwrights, I have several projects in varied states that I am excited to wake up and meet each day. I am exploring characters as they navigate their desires and fears. My play "Above the Fold" has the strongest place in my heart, as it is based on a true event that was family lore to me in my youth.
